What can I say - Ted's Band from the TV show Scrubs. Interesting A cappella TV themed songs, brilliant use of a speaking toy on Commando. Very quirky album interspersed with odd pieces of dialogue with "Ted" trying to talk to cast members and being politely told not to. If you've been intrigued with the scattered pieces heard during the series and want more, this for you.

If you liked Scrubs,you'll love this CD. Great, funny accapella group which has songs that they sang on Scrubs, Hope they put out a second CD that has the rest of their songs.

I bought it for my wife's birthday as a gag gift. She's a big fan of the show and likes barbershop quartets. The CD is fun. The secretly taped conversations of the actors interjected throughout the CD gets old fast. The songs are good. My favorites are "Underdog," "Charles in Charge," "A Little Polish" and the "Ballad of Jimmy Durante." This CD does have not great music or great artists, but it is quite a bit fun all the same.

I'm an old A Capella guy from way back, and a fan of Scrubs, so my brother-in-law got me this CD. To be sure, there's the funny TV theme stuff, and some spoken stuff you'll listen to one time and then skip past eternally thereafter. But the group had enough confidence to include some actual original tracks in addition to the comedy, and they are fantastic. They expanded (greatly) the Little Rascals / Our Gang theme and managed to turn it into a poignant note on aging and friendship - that track alone is worth the price of admission. The other two pieces, the Ballad of Jimmy Durante and A Little Polish are great as well. I really would like to hear an entire original album from these guys.

Everyone on Scrubs here and in character; spanking good quartet with humor and greenness [save Tigers from extinction Amen!].
The show tunes [Charles in Charge ..], and the originals are super.

This CD is a product of a short lived love affair with the singing group that added a surreal quality to the earlier part of the SCRUBS series, before Zak nosedived into mugging the camera.

It's a novelty piece and to see it otherwise is just sad. For what it is, it is a lot of fun and a snapshot of our times.

The artist is good, but the site makes it seem like the MP3 download is the same thing as the CD. It's not, even though there are links that say 'Also available in CD format'. Bologna. Don't download, just buy the CD from here or from CD Baby for 15 bucks.
